Helen McEwen

Helen had forgotten about her childhood love of writing until, on a whim, she decided to enter a short story in a radio competition. Since then, she has written everything from lesson plans to lecture notes, marketing spiels to project proposals, website guides to literacy resources. She loves hearing about kids who have come to enjoy reading and writing as much as she does.
